Construction of the Piety of Women Adhering to the Tarekat Annaqshabandiyah Al-Khalidiyah Al-Mujaddadiyah in Banyumas
摘要
This article argues that the construction of women’s piety is a form of expression of their existence in the midst of men’s piety domination. In tarekat organizations, women can only become students, without ever increasing to become badals or even tarekat’s murshid. Even among the conditions for the implementation of tawajjuhan activities in a village mosque, at least six man followers of the tarekat are required. When this number is not fulfilled, the tawajjuhan activity cannot be carried out even though there are 40 women who are followers of the tarekat. Nevertheless, the composition of the number of the Annaqsyabandiyah al-Mujaddadiyah al-Khalidiyah adherents branch of Sokaraja, Banyumas Regency is still more than the number of men recently. This study uses a qualitative research approach with data collection using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of interviews with 10 tarekat women stated that when they entered the world of tarekat, they were based on a strong desire and heart readiness to carry out the tarekat teachings well. They practice 5000 times remembrance sirr all day for tarekat students who have never participated in Suluk activities. The obligation of remembrance will be added 1000 times if they have participated in one time Suluk until twelve activities, or 11,000 times remembrance. Besides dhikr, the women who follow the tarekat fulfill the call of their heart by increasing the practice of obligatory and sunnah worship.
